Micol Roubini

Artist and film director, Micol Roubini (born 1982 in Milan) works mainly with video, sound and writing. Her research investigates the relationships between man and landscape, the changing balance with which, through language, culture, an economic system or social structures, the very idea of space, geographical area or the borders of a state gradually take shape. The processes by which history and oral memories intersect, coming to shape the morphology of the territory. From 2010 to 2018, she collaborated with Lorenzo Casali in the duo Casali+Roubini. In 2019, her first feature film The way to the mountains, presented in competition at the 41st Cinema du Réel and screened at several other European festivals, won the Corso Salani Prize in 2020 at the Trieste Film festival. She is co-founder of the production company L'Altauro, and author / scriptwriter of film projects, including The young observant, by Davide Maldi presented at the 72nd Locarno Film Festival and at Doc Fortnight at Moma in New York.
